This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing ands ecifcally pointed out in the appended c aims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or lcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1isa side view of a comb constructed in accord nce with this' inventionand showing the comb of curvature shape,

Fig. 2 is a similar view but. showing the comb of straight shape.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal seotional View, the section beingtaken on line 3--3 of Fig. 4. v 1

Fig. 4 is a section on line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the rear or top edge of the combwhich is of solid construction and the numeral 2 indicates the teeth ofone row and the numeral 3 the teeth of the other row, these teeth beingalternately arranged as shown in Fig. 3 and having their outer ed esrounded and their inner edges iat as a so shown in Fig. 3.

The teeth of the two rows slightly converge to the free end as shown inF1g. 4, and sa1d teeth taper from their point of connection with thepart 1 to their free ends, as also shown in Fig. 4. Asv will be seen inFigs. 3 and 4, the two rows of teeth form a central space 4. As beforestated, this t pe of comb helps considerably in removing andrui andloose hair from the head and the space 4 between the two rows of teethwhich will hold a considerable amount of dandruff and loose 1932.

hair. This type of comb also enables the hair to be combed quicker thanordinary combsand the hair stays combed better and for a longer lengthof time than with an ordinary comb.

It will of course be understood that the improved comb can be made ofdifferent sizes with the teeth larger and further apart when used byladies or persons with thick or long hair, and if desired the teeth maybe made of substantially squa e shape in cross section for use by thosepersons whose heads have an excessive amount of dandruif. As be' forestated, either the oval type shown in Fig. 1 or the straight type shownin Fig. 2 can have the invention embodied therein or other types ofcombs can be constructed in accordance with the invention.

It is thought from the foregoin description that the advantages and novefeatures of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction andin the combination and arrangement ofthe several parts provided thatsuch changes may be made which fall within the scope of the appendedclaims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. A comb ofthe class described having two rows of teeth with a central spacebetween the rows, the teeth of one row being alternately arranged withthose of the other and the teeth of the tworows converging to their freeends with said free ends' of the teeth of one row being spaced laterallyfrom the ends of the teeth of the other row.

2. A comb'of the class described having two rows of teeth with a centralspace between the'rows, the teeth of one rowbei alternately arrangedwith those of the other, and each tooth having a rounded front edge anda flat inner edge.

In testimony whereof I aflx m signature.
